Buffalo is Big

| | Comments (19)

Not in population but in the stomach. 61% of Western New York is fat according to a report on channel 2's website. The reasons are due to weather, food and an aging population. How about laziness? Im a big fan of that.

It's not just Buffalo thats bursting at the seams. Its all over the US. Kids, adults all of us. This country is large. I blame the video game for today's children for being chubby. Kids play too many video games and parents aren't in a big rush to get them participating in any organized sports.

For adults I think it boils down to an overworked area. Adults in this area, including myself spend too much time serving their employers and not enough time taking care of number one. It turns into stress which does not help losing weight.  

Im making a change. Starting Monday Im starting my workout routine again. up at 5AM and to the gym. Im going to start swimming again as well. I don't want to be part of the problem in WNY, I would rather pull that 61% in the down direction.

Good point about the overworked/stress component of obesity. Also, I wonder if economically stressed areas have a higher incidence of obesity. I am all for making standardized lunches (e.g. cafeteria food) healthier with posted nutririon facts...besides if parents really want their children to eat unhealthy let them brown bag fried twinkies and hot dogs ...mmmmm) People are still generally sheep, let's use it to their advantage instead of brainwashing them for once. People who eat healthier do much better in the long run. The government has done a few good things in this respect....floridation of water (decreases tooth decay) heavy promotion via nutition guidelines of fruits and vegetables (antioxident/vitamin consumption).

Well Buffalo Boy, im a long time reader of Freddie P.
As for the weight problem, im sure your welll aware that this is an expanding problem everywhere, even here north of the border.
When I was a child video games were a treat. My dad would take me to an arcade on a Saterday night after a hockey game and let me blow $3.00 in quarters. I had to stand up to play and $3.00 bucks didnt last long.
Ive done the same with my boy. Play outside till you have frost bite but only 10 or 15 minutes on a game. The fresh is better than getting sore thumbs and healthier too.

Big J, I hear ya, as a swim coach myself, I have seen numbers in competitive sports decline with the exception of football and the big highschool sports. Swimming has taken a bit of a hit over the years due to the mass marketing of video games and the internet. Kids have become prisoners to technology and they become couch potatoes.

I firmly believe that parents should control the amount of time children spend on video games and exercise. That in and of itself would eliminate a lot of obesity problems.

I usually read the content on weblogs well before I leave a review. If I have got not much to say of the article topic, I won't leave any evaluations. And I want to read anyone else’s opinions on that post likewise. Because I'll find valuable ideas in the really good comments. I would have posted “Notable blog! Amazing posts!” then I would be spamming your blog. I as well make use of a web-site, the very first thing I will do on a daily basis once i signed onto my blog site is investigate reviews to my articles or blog posts and personally approve or reject these remarks. Keywordluv not merely brings you more commenters. It increases your position in search engines simply because you’re not only on so many “dofollow blog lists” but additionally on a couple of those “keywordluv lists”. Many thanks, Shelley
